I caught the first part of the show and will watch the rest later.
I agree, it is nice to see more and more evidence of TGM on TGC. The momentum has been building for some time now.
Flat left, bent right, lag and basic motion. Chips and punch shots too.
Yet still no real PUBLIC credit to HOMER KELLY.
Why not?
Reminds me of Rocky and Bullwinkle....
"Hey Rocky..... watch me pull a RABBIT out of a hat"
Or was that Lenny..... "tell me about the rabbit George"
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell
Credit where it is due folks..... the time is now.
I agree Ed. I was leaning forward watching the screen waiting for the words "The Golfing Machine" or the name "Homer Kelly" to be mentioned, but it never happened.
I think he even referred to Kenny's motion as "his procedure"!
Could be a coincidence but I've never heard someone who wasn't versed in TGM call a motion "a procedure".
He was seemingly very composed for a 21 year old on national TV. He may have been extremely nervous, and the time to mention Homer and book may never have presented itself.
He has publicly stated that he studied the Golfing Machine.
He also sounds like he knows the Laws book, also.
I say give the kid a break, and give him some time. He's only 21! What were you doing at 21?

I was puttin' fake turds on crowded elevators drunk on Boone's Farm Wild Island. I wasn't no Golfing Machine . . . but I was the DORK MACHINE!!!
I am very excited to see some young guys teaching TGM!!!!
I'm sure that the current TGM Big Dogs (Lynn Blake, Brian Manzella, Rob Noel, and Chuck Evans) already know that the future of TGM is in training young teachers through the book.
That's something David Orr(Annikan Skywalker) is already doing, so keep your eyes out for the next young "stud" TGM instructor to come out of Buies Creek, NC.
I have never heard Martin Hall, Chuck Cook, or any other A.I. mention Homer or the book during their segments on The Golf Channel. Perhaps this is network policy. Perhaps this is Home Office policy. I have heard Brandel Chablee cite Homer and the Book. Does anyone have any insight or information regarding this?

Ted Fort is an A.I. and he makes sure to mention Homer and give him due credit(so it's not home office policy). He did so when he spoke at the Atlanta Golf Show check out that thread with Ted's Bio. and you'll see how an AI should mention Homer.
Martin Hall did mention HK and TGM in TGC Academy Live show on 17-04-2001. He mentioned Chuck and Ben Doyle helped him to understand The Golfing Machine book by HOMER KELLY.

Bray, I could not agree with you more about David Orr being the next great teacher. I enjoy being in the same room with young guys who are willing to learn to become a quality teacher. I can't thank David enough for being so willing to share his hard earned knowledge.
